KUBOTA GL-46 ENGINE
The Kubota GL-46 tractor is powered by a robust 2.5L 5-cylinder diesel engine, providing optimal torque and fuel efficiency for a range of agricultural tasks. With a 13.2-gallon (50.0L) fuel tank, it offers extended operational time, which minimizes refueling intervals during long fieldwork. However, the relatively compact fuel capacity may necessitate careful planning for extensive operations, making it ideal for smaller farms or specific tasks rather than large-scale operations.

TRANSMISSION
The Kubota GL-46 features a robust 16-speed transmission, providing enhanced control over speed and torque for diverse operational scenarios, such as plowing or hauling. This extensive gear range allows for fine-tuning performance in varying field conditions, which can improve fuel efficiency and reduce engine strain. However, the complexity of a 16-speed transmission may require additional operator training to maximize its potential effectiveness.

MECHANICAL
The Kubota GL-46 features a 4x4 MFWD drivetrain, enhancing traction on varied terrains, making it suitable for diverse agricultural applications. Its 16-speed transmission allows for precise speed control, optimizing efficiency in both fieldwork and transport scenarios. The optional cab provides operator comfort, while the two-post ROPS ensures safety, although limited protection may exist against overhead hazards without a full cab.

KUBOTA GL-46 TIRES
The Kubota GL-46 tractor features standard agricultural tires, providing traction and maneuverability in diverse field conditions: front tires (8-18) enhance steering control, while rear tires (13.6-28) offer stability during heavy load operations. An advantage of this tire configuration is its optimized balance for tillage and general farming tasks, though it may face challenges on steep terrain due to higher center of gravity. Ideal for mid-sized farms, the GL-46 excels in various soil conditions, but operators should consider tire pressure adjustments for optimal performance based on specific agricultural needs.
